DBRS Discontinues Rating on Class A2 Notes Issued by Mespil 1 RMBS Designated Activity Company

DBRS Ratings Limited (DBRS) discontinued its AAA (sf) rating on the Class A2 Notes (the Notes) issued by Mespil 1 RMBS Designated Activity Company.

The discontinuation reflects the payment in full of the Notes on 22 August 2019. The remaining balance of the Notes prior to their payment in full was EUR 2,637,100.39.

DBRS continues to rate the transaction’s Class A3 Notes at AAA (sf). Please refer to www.dbrs.com for more information.
Notes:

All figures are in euros unless otherwise noted.

The principal methodology applicable to the rating is the “Master European Structured Finance Surveillance Methodology”.

In DBRS’s opinion, a discontinued-repaid rating action does not warrant the application of the entire principal methodology, as the bond has been repaid in full.

Other methodologies referenced in this transaction are listed at the end of this press release.
